After Cain killed Abel, God asked him, “What have you done? . . . Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.”
Today we are justified to repeat this line with even more urgency because the children of the Lord are dying at alarming rates and their voices cry out for help. Something is amiss in this nation, and it will require more than a law or an election to repair it.
Many politicians are so desperate to protect the act of killing the preborn that they are defending a so-called abortion shield law to protect the act should the Supreme Court rule to end the mass killing. They call their proposal a “haven,” but it would more accurately be described as a hellish pit. When human beings are threatened with death, it is obvious that safety is nowhere to be found.
Montana’s supreme court has thrown its towel in with the advocates of killing as well. That court has said that constitutional bans of aborting children are unconstitutional. A Montana Free Press article states, “In the majority opinion, penned by Justice Beth Baker, the court opined that protections for procreative autonomy, including pre-viability abortions, are included within the state’s right to privacy, which the justices said was construed broadly by delegates during the state’s 1972 Constitutional Convention.”
Thus, this court has once again avoided addressing the humanity of one class of people by suggesting that abortion is not a deadly act but rather a simple exercise of the right to privacy. The chill in that idea alone should compel us to rethink pro-life strategy.
The armaments of our opponents are indeed deceit and deception, but when the nation is tuning into their soulless propaganda, we are compelled to devise new and better ways to expose this.
Even when the nation’s number one proponent of the abortion pill, Dr. Mitchell Creinin, admits that the failure of the abortion pill is concerning, it is not the mainstream media that shares the story but our own elite pro-life organizations. While we are thankful for this exposé on Dr. Creinin, one wonders where the rest of the media is. Methinks they are hiding behind the shield erected by the Supreme Court’s decision to protect abortion.
Too many public servants are too busy figuring out ways to pander to the advocates of chilling killing, including the people seeking a way to end their lives by acts of assisted suicide. We see that the state of New York is on the brink of legalizing assisted suicide. To these lawmakers, like those who strive to protect abortion or eradicate the credibility of abortion reversal, death seems to be their preference, not for themselves but for others.
Considering that about half of doctors these days consider euthanasia a good or very good option as a treatment for Alzheimer’s, one is left wondering what other chilling forms of killing could be coming down the bloody pike!
Whether the topic is reversing the effects of the abortion pill, regulating the act of surgical abortion, or targeting the sick for death, society appears to be willing to forego morality in favor of a quick fix to ending the lives of the unexpected or inconvenient.
Not much has changed since the days of Cain and Abel. As long as we have breath to speak truth, we will never cease fighting for the rights of our brothers and sisters to live without threat from the chilling killing of our day.
